Sofitel Noosa will transform this December into Elysium Noosa Resort, promising to be a haven of rejuvenation, curated dining and inspired wellness in a sophisticated hotel experience of refined luxury for the discerning global traveller on Hastings Street.
The unveiling will see all 175 hotel rooms and suites fully reimagined and redesigned by Melbourne based Interior Architecture & Design studio, Mitchell & Eades.
Celebrated Sydney-based restaurateurs Alessandro and Anna Pavoni will also debut their first interstate opening, bringing award-winning Italian dining experience Cibaria to the resort, alongside coastal-inspired Bar Capri.
Elysium Noosa Resort aims to create an elegant retreat for guests with the pinnacle of their rooms being the oceanfront Elysium suite, featuring a private plunge pool and sweeping views.
Prestige suites overlook the pool towards Noosa’s famed Main Beach, while poolside junior suites offer private cabanas for the ultimate seclusion. Each of the hotel’s 175 rooms and suites comes with its own spacious balcony or terrace.
For travellers seeking a stay that nourishes body and mind, the wellness suites at Elysium Noosa set a new benchmark for how luxury and wellbeing intersect in Australian hotels. Each wellness suite offers a private infrared sauna, terrace spa, and bespoke concierge service to support personalised wellness rituals – from reformer pilates and Peloton workouts to peaceful yoga practice.
Mitchell & Eades’ principal, Hayley Mitchell, says: “We wanted to create a destination with global appeal – a new style of luxury for the region where Noosa’s essence is reimagined through a European lens. It was important that the guest rooms feel truly of place, with subtle nods to Noosa’s coastal lifestyle; from classic stripes and rattan to premium linens. Artworks and playful design details add personality and character to create a uniquely sophisticated coastal experience that speaks to both a young, active audience and those seeking indulgence with ease.”
Elysium Noosa General Manager, Mark Wilkinson, said: “This transformation is far more than a rebrand – it’s a landmark evolution of one of Noosa’s most treasured hotels, a true legacy for the region.”
Elysium Noosa is the sister property to Manly Pacific, which was awarded UNESCO’s acclaimed Prix Versailles in 2024. It will be managed by Accor, as part of the MGallery Collection of luxury hotels.
